IFN-γ is required for cytotoxic T cell-dependent cancer genome immunoediting
Abstract
T cell mediated anti-tumour immune responses result in the emergence of an immune-resistant population in a process called immunoediting. Here, the authors show that immunoediting is associated with an increase in genomic rearrangements of tumour cells that requires both cytotoxic T cells and IFNγ exposure.
